SYSCO QQ <br />April 10, 1989 <br />Mr. Donald F. Pauley <br />Clerk -Administrator <br />City of Mounds View <br />2401 Highway 10 <br />Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />Dear Mr. Pauley: <br />The utility agreement, approved by the City Councils of Blaine <br />and Mounds View on behalf of the Sysco/Minnesota project, has <br />only recently been received by Sysco Corporation and reviewed by <br />members of senior management. <br />A particular clause in this agreement has raised some serious <br />concerns. On page five, item ten involving termination gives the <br />city of Blaine the right to discontinue service with 30 days <br />notice if the city manager "in his sole discretion" determines <br />that the "use of the connection by the owner of the pro; arty or <br />its successors or assigns, substantially interferes wit` existing <br />or proposed service to residents of the City of Blaine. <br />Although Sysco Corporation can appreciate the City of. Blaine's <br />desire to discontinue service if conditions warrant, the 30 day <br />notice does not allow enough time to install an alternate source <br />of water for fire protection. A 250,000 square foot warehouse <br />left without a water source for fire protection is not in the <br />best interest of public safety, the local fire department or <br />Sysco corporation. <br />We ask your assistance in amending this clause to an absolute <br />minimum of six months notice before discontinuing service. This <br />time frame would allow Sysco Minnesota to install an alternate <br />source of water before service from the City of Blaine is <br />discontinued. Since this notice period would have to apply to a <br />decision by Blaine not to renew the annual contract in order to <br />effectively provide us an opportunity to replace the system, we <br />also suggest that the contract automatically renew unless either <br />party gives six months notice. <br />i ,r� or,0"in I1!ei Endacc P.i r6.. ae Houston.
